Woodpeckers Coping Sled handles the most challenging coping cuts with ultimate precision and safety.
Woodpeckers Coping Sled sets you up for success with any end grain cutting challenge — with simple, solid adjustments and safe, accurate performance that no other coping sled can match. By guiding along the fence instead of using the mitre track, you don’t have to fiddle with getting the fence perfectly parallel to the mitre slot when doing cope and stick cabinet doors, tenons, half-laps and other end grain cuts.
The design starts with a rigid 292x292mm 9.5mm (3/8in) thick phenolic base that slides smoothly on the table surface. On top of this foundation, the workpiece is effectively trapped between a fixed fence and a slotted top plate that adjusts to handle stock up to 140mm wide. Maximum workpiece thickness is 44.5mm. To lock the stock down, a rigid clamp beam with two hold-downs slides into place directly over the workpiece.
Unlike coping sleds that ride in the mitre slot, Woodpeckers Coping Sled uses a guide that rides against the router fence so your material is square to the cutter whether the fence is parallel to the mitre track or not. Guiding along the fence also allows you to concentrate your feed pressure where it counts the most - toward the bit and fence. The clear fence guide provides a good view of the cut and doubles as a chip deflector and bit guard.
Woodpeckers Coping Sled has no sacrificial parts. Just use a piece of scrap as a backer board to prevent tear-out. Includes step-by-step fully illustrated instructions.
